problem #3

Escape 1.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 76,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I got a lease on my car, fell in love with it from Lee Credit (now in Auburn Maine). Within two months time, the engine s*** the bed. It knocks extremely loudly, you can hear it through the walls of my house. It will cost about 2500$ to pay for a new motor and the labor. SO therefore it's been sitting my driveway. Please help, or give some advice on what I need to do. Lee Credit will do nothing about it, they won't even take the damn thing back.

Escape Titanium 1.5L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75 miles

fairly loud woosh after letting up on the accelerator

I feel that this issue should have been addressed during R&D of the product.In a sports car young people like to hear the release from the waste gate it's part of the power thing.In a family SUV not so much.My wife is very annoyed by the cycling heard from the air being vented under the hood.Why wasn't a recirculation valve installed to minimize or eliminate the air release sound?Love the vehicle and it has good power but not thought through.Ford should put out a service bulletin to address this issue.

Update from Mar 11, 2017: As stated in the oil smell complaint once the turbo charger vent was connected the noise has been reduced.Waiting now to see if oil smell gone completely after vent installed.
